Nice, Bill Mc's TR!

Hunting season is in full swing again tho - we saw so many people in that neck of the woods carrying rifles, wearing camo and yet bright orange too.

Pic of the lines we did on the right side of Hoffman in 2013.

Planning on going back this year to do a couple more on that side. September or October time frame is the goal.

Looks perfect. The roads only opened in the last two weeks or so. Are you suggesting an early-season trip?

I talk big, but backpacking gear needs sorting.

If life works I would be down to go.

mungeclimber · « **Reply #51 on:** May 28, 2014, 02:40:49 pm »

hmmm, what about a day trip Daveytree? Early start, go ultra light, come out after dark?

Maybe do some acclimating at Courtright Saturday, then Hoffman Sunday?

man, I talk big. Let me think on this before I commit. I've got some other stuff I should do first.

No hurry. I also have projects. But when you do go I would be up for it.

It is funny, I was just talking to Macronut this morning at the gym about wanting to go up there. Stoke!

It is nice camping up there. Have you never been there in the spring, Munge or Dingus? Lotta nice routes already established on the left side to climb if memory serves.

Not spring. Em said they always had good luck with the skeets in the Autumn, so Spring never came up.

That's why I was thinking a day trip to check skeet conditions.

I don't like blood suckers, nor mosquitos.

If poison oak could fly, that's skeeters to me. But usually only dawn and dusk.Long lightweight clothes and or a lightweight tent help better than insecticides. Breezy conditions are a good sign.

I am down for the autumn.

One of the best trips I have had.

Seriously.

susan · « **Reply #57 on:** May 29, 2014, 04:31:59 pm »

Autumn for sure. So into the ridge now. Maybe higher country this year too.

mungeclimber · « **Reply #58 on:** May 29, 2014, 04:52:24 pm »

Labor Day Weekend +/- a weekend.

Making it a 4 day weekend means we could do a day playing on Finger Rock too.

susan · « **Reply #59 on:** May 29, 2014, 04:56:26 pm »

We are not available that weekend tho.
